Yes, the HDMI output will be ignored in the sense that it won't be selected as the default output, but a card will be created nevertheless (at least if we're talking about the LPE driver - other hardware may just create HDMI ports on a card that is shared with analog output, but I digress). If the computer doesn't have any physical HDMI outputs, as I understood to be the case with Lenovo Miix 8, then it would be better to not create a card or ports for HDMI (and ideally the HDMI stuff would already be suppressed by the kernel).
